We agree together with God and with one another to glorify God who has called us into a relationship with Himself, each other and the world. Recognizing that God has called me to be a part of the Narangba Baptist Church and to build relationships with people and God.

I covenant:

1. To be faithful in the worship of God within the context of Christian Community while seeking to discover and apply His revealed truth.

2. To explore my spiritual gifting and to offer my gifts and abilities where possible in the service of the Church and the wider community, and to help others in the discovery, validation, strengthening and expression of their gifting.

3. To lovingly support and encourage one another towards Christ likeness by being a genuine community of love, acceptance and forgiveness, being compassionate with each other’s failings as we seek healing and growth towards wholeness in Christ.

4. To proclaim Christ in word, deed and the power of the Holy Spirit to serve people as a community of the Servant King, and to work for justice.

5. To give of my financial means systematically, joyfully, sacrificially and lovingly, recognizing that such giving does something for God, others and self. (2 Corinthians 8: 1-15; 9:6-15)

6. To seek to grow in the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5: 22,23) and to live ethically and morally to the glory of God so that the cause of Christ is not weakened and the Kingdom shamed.

7. To do all this within the context of prayer as we live to the glory of God who has called us out of darkness into His marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9)
